Administering a local MMDF system

Adding or removing a mail user

When you add or remove a user from the system (for example, a new or retiring employee), there are several mail-related tasks that may need to be performed:

Adding or removing the user from system-wide aliases.
Redirecting mail sent to the retired account to one or more other users.
Deciding what to do with a removed user's mailbox: leave it in place, remove it, or move it to another file.

When you add a new user to the system, a mailbox is automatically set up for the account in the location specified with the MMDF Configuration Manager, as described in ``Specifying the location of user mailboxes''.
